Bangor has launched its own bid to become the first Welsh city designated as the UK City of Culture.
Bangor Garth Pier celebrated its 125th year anniversary on Friday May 14 with a civic ceremony, plaque unveiling and being illuminated. On this day in 1896, Lord Penrhyn officially opened the pier following a procession through the city and a crowd of over 5,000 people assembled to watch the opening ceremony. This year, the situation is markedly different with a large-scale event not possible due to the Covid-19 pandemic, however celebrations proceed nonetheless. At 11am, the Mayor of Bangor Cllr Owen Hurcum unveiled a new plaque commemorating the 125th year anniversary. Following social distancing rules, the Mayor was joined by other members of Bangor City Council, kioskholders and representatives of Friends of Bangor Garth Pier (FGBP), a new volunteer group working with the City Council to provide help and support to visitors on the pier and ensure that the pier thrives and has a sustainable future.
